Let's go with card #3, if you're OK with it.

And the tab would be very helpful, Annalisa

Annalisa, do you have a preference for any of the bingo cards?, they're pretty similar to me, maybe, we can chose one randomly, and try fill that one, and prioritize to fill lines first, for the bonus points =)

Here's the story everyone:

The Dazzling Alchemist and the Hidden Rinkitink met in the Homeland for their Marriage. The Alchemist wore a beautiful Wedding Dress, while Rinkitink wore a Cloth on his head. What Rinkitink didn't expect was a confession from the Alchemist. "I already have Two Husbands!" she said. Rinkitink didn't like the news very much and exclaimed: "You and your two husbands are Sinners and will end up in hell!" In his rage, he started a Night Fire so fierce that the Alchemist did not survive. When the news reached the world, they agreed that it was a murder of passion.

Please everyone remember to post your completions for this week before the countdown ends. If you don't have computer access, don't worry and post through the app, as long as you Shelf your books, I can manage.
We're at 19 books right now, so we could use some more.

Super Laila, I don't have any books that I can read fast for the other =/

Thank you guys for your concern, I hope something good comes from this crisis :)

I'll check the bingo cards and everything else when I turn on the computer

Yes, I live in Santiago, but in a privileged zone, so I mostly see everything through my friends who are constantly protesting. On monday a friend got hit by a gas canister in the mouth, doctor had to put some stitches on it.

Today there's a massive protest concerted in Plaza Italia, I'll attend because the more we are, maybe the authorities will open their eyes. But I won't be anywhere near the police.

And yes, I know that Bolivia, Argentina and Perú are having social/economic/political crisis too

I was wondering the same.
I'm not sure if you know, but here in Chile we're having a BIG social crisis, were most of the country is demmanding the authorities (politicians mostly) to improve the quality of life, and social inequality.
We are on the 3rd week of protest and the goverment has only answered with represion and violence (about 20 dead people in protest, more than 140 people have suffered eye injuries by rubber projectiles and gas canisters that police and soldiers fired into crowds of protesters)

I've been really bad at reading because of this, there's much anxiety and it's been difficult to concentrate lately.
I hope our authorities decide to finally listen to the people, because there's so much inequality and that is very enraging.
Specially because we have a multimillionare president who isn't keen to make any real changes.

If you want to know a little about our country's problems, you can read this article, it's very accurate

I hope to like Wuthering Heights haha it's been on my TBR long enough and my edition is gorgeous =P

No, we could start them from November 4, so you can read them now =)

This is what the rules say:
Only books started on or after 4th November and finished by 2nd December will count for Part Two the Lust mini challenge (i.e. books started and finished between weeks 5 - 8).

Thanks for checking in Brandy.

**Updated to here**

I'm trying to make a story from the titles so far, but I'm really bad at it hahaha. Also I'm reading two books with names on their title (Goliath and Rinkitink)

Remember that from this week we can earn more points if we read books from the bad books list

I'm planning on reading The Fifth Season, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and/or Wuthering Heights from that list =P
